WASHINGTON*. Jan. 20.—United States Consul Edward Higgins , at Stuttgart , is persona non grata to Ger­many, this government has learned through Informal channels .

NEW REICHSTAG PARTY, AMSTERDAM (via London). Jan. 20.

1,037 BRIT ISH SEAMEN K ILLED. LONDON, Jan. 20.—From the begin­

LONDON, Jan. 20.—Every move by the Spanish Government is being watched closely by the allies, it was

I learned today, in view of growing con­ditions of unrest in Portugal.

Though officially discredited, the ru­mor persists in London that Spain is making secret preparations to Invade Portugal if she believes England has her hands full with Germany and can­not go to Portugal's assistance. Such a course would at once range King Al­fonso beside the Kaiser as an enemy of the allies.

Private advices from Oporto and other Portuguese cities today described internal conditions as growing more serious. No claim was made that Spanish agents were responsible, but it was said that the critical food situ­ation and incessant strikes and riots keep the Republican Guard* constantly on the alert. Blood is being spilled frequently in clashes between the troops and civilians clamoring for food.

Eighty thousand workmen at Oporto are still on strike, it is reported. *

At Portategro recently several thou­sand civilians, including women, rushed the railway station and confis­cated many crates of potatoes and olives awaiting shipment. In a potato riot at Pinhel a mob, armed with clubs and knives, charged the residence of the chief magistrate. Scores were wounded when the troops dispersed them. Hundreds of rioters Wave been wounded and many killed in clashes in northern Portugal.

The haste with which the Spanish army is being re-equipped with guns and ammunition is a matter ,of con­cern in the allied capitals.

HOKE SMITH JUMPS ON BRITISH BLOCKADE

WASHINGTON, Jan, 20 . -"Pres ident Wilson can only write notes. Congress can do more,*' said Senator Hoke Smith today in the c l imax of an at­tack on the British blockade. He pre­dicted that a strong bluff would bring England to time.

Senator Hoke Smith's speech on the embargo w a s a severe arraignment of that government. He charged that England was destroying German com­merce and Germany commercial ly and In doing so was disregarding the rights of the neutral nations.

"Great Britain cannot keep her mil­lion and * half people engaged in the Lancashire mil ls at work s ixty d a y s without cotton from the United States,'* said Senator Smith. "Without oofton from our producers, she cannot accomplish her scheme for world-wide domination of the commerce in cotton

(Special to Th* Call.) OKLAHOMA CITY, Ok'la., Jan. 20.-

J. O. Welday, Oklahoma editor of the Appeal to Reason and chairman of the Socialist party of this State, commit­ted suicide yesterday morning in order to escape marriage with the daughter of a rich oil man. This appears to be the only theory to explain his act of sefl-destructlon. He was to have been married last night. All arrangements had been made before he shot himself while in a hotel room.

This handsome former high school instructor, who was 35 years old. was grieved over newspaper reports that he, a Socialist agitator, had "captured*" a capitalist's daughter. He felt that suicide was his only way out.

Welday'a body was shipped today to his mother at Loralne, Ohio. This young man, who was considered a great power in this State, reached more than 50,000 persons with weekly assaults on the old parties. Emanuel Julius, of the regular Appeal to» Rea­son staff, arrived this morning for the purpose of taking charge temporarily of the position held by Welday.

STEAMER PASSES BURNING BARK IN MID-OCEAN

The Penistone stopped engines and lay by the bark until daylight, when she went as close as she could without endangering herself and made out on the port side a painted Norwegian flag.

No boats or rafts could be seen from the masthead of the steamship, and her skipper, feeling that he had done hia duty, proceeded.

KEATING TO URGE CHILD LABOR BILL

Colorado Congressman to Speak at Labor Forum on. Behalf of

I

Young" Toilers.

Congressman Edward Keating, of Colorado, has been secured by &M Labor Forum, Washington Irving High School, Irving place and 17th street, as leading speaker for Child Labor Sun­day, January 23, at 8 o'clock. Keating is particularly prominent at present as an advocate of the abolition of child labor, since the Keating-Owen bill has been favorably reported by the House Committee on Labor and will be called up for a vote on January J*.

This bill proposes to prevent Inter­state , commerce in the products of child laborers under 14 In mills, fac­tories, canneries and workshops, and of child laborers under 16 in mines and quarries. It would pi*event also Inter­state commerce in goods made by chil­dren between the ages of 14 and 16 who have worked more than eight hours a day or at night. The bill pro­vides that the employer pay the pen­alty for violation of the law, which is to be enforced by Federal authorities.

The child labor program at the Labor Forum will Include an address by Owen R. Lovejoy and the motion pic­ture film, "Children Who Labor." Love-joy is general secretary of the Na­tional Child Labor Committee and is known as the "children's statesman" because of his active campaign of six years, resulting in the establishment of the Federal Children's Bureau.

This combined program for Child Labor Sunday at the Labor Forum is arranged to direct the attention of the public to the fact that the national welfare demands that child labor be abolished, and that Congress will pass this bill prohibiting child labor if the people want it passed.

The Birth Control League, composed of leading men and women In soc al welfare work, has adopted a resoluti n asking that Mrs. Margaret Sanger, un­der indictment for disseminating in­formation of conception preveentiv* s. be acquitted. Her trial will come up n the Federal Court next Monday. The resolution reads:

"Margaret Sanger is to be tried on a charge of violating a Federal statute which prohibits obscenity. The indict­ments are based upon articles which . Mrs. Sanger published in the Woman | Rebel, and which advocated that proper methods of birth control >e made generally accessible.

"The National Birth Control League, the object of which is to secure the repeal of all laws which prohibit the giving of information on the preven­tion of conception, protests against classing these articles as obscene a< d vicious.

"We believe that Mrs. Sanger h ta done an inestimable service in making the subject of birth control general y discussed. We admire her courage at d initiative, and we deem It outrageo s that she should be on trial for tryii.g to awaken a backward public on a su >-ject of vital importance to thousands of households.

"We urge all those who believe bir; h control to be an indispensable pra *-tice in a sane and healthy community to give energetic support to Mrs. San­ger in her bold challenge of a wick, d and demoralizing law.

Miss Flynn, Carlo Treses and John Reed Talk After Long Period of

Enforced Inactivity.

PATERSON. N. J.. Jan. 20.—The I. W. W. were here tonight, includ­ing Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, Carlo Treoca, William Shatoff. a Russian, and John Reed, war correspondent, and they urged the silk mill workers to get ready for another strike.

John Reed told the 2.500 persons who packed Institute Hall to prepare for a big organisation to drive the manu­facturers into meeting their demands. He got a lot of hurrahing when he said: , ,

"If the Germans or the Japanese should land in this country and invade Paterson, you would be better off if you joined the invaders."

Miss Flynn, when It came her turn to speak, declared that she was never happier than when addressing Pater­son crowds, and, after urging them to sign the petition for the release of Patrick Quinlan from prison, told the silk workers to strike for a decent liv­ing wage. The last silk strike was not a defeat for the I. W. W., she said. Later she added:

"We lost one strike, but there's no reason why we can't win again."

She spoke of the prosperity which Paterson is now enjoying and how the wages of the workers have not gone up since 1913.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind.. Jan. »>.-While the Important wage scale com­mittee of the United Mine Workers* convention continued hard at work to­day, the fight on the floor of the con­vention that began yesterday came to a climax. Adolph Germcr's resolution calling for an investigation of finan­cing methods wax voted down.

Between President White's dramatic "You can try John P. White at any time" and Mother Jones' get-together-and-fight-rhe-bosses appeal, the Ger­mer resolution was smothered.

It was charged by Germer that or­ganizers' expense accounts looked as if some organizers had been living on goldfish. Germer was backed by Dun­can MacDonald in his charges, and both spoke to them.

President White declared the charges to be an attempt to discredit the union, which was hotly denied by his oppo­nents. White also read letters that he said had passed between Germer and MacDonald, which he claimed sub­stantiated his point. This MacDonald said was not true. %

Germer charged that the appoint­ment of organizers was in payment of political debts. "No report is made," he said, "of the organizers who loaf around Denver hotels, taking auto rides and going on drunka" Germer said he had preferred many charges, but that they all met the same fate as labor bills in Congress.

Following MacDonald, Mother Jones took the floor. When Vice President Frank J. Hayes jollied her about not being a delegate, she replied: "I'm a delegate to every miners* convention,"
